Ordered the 5.0 MGP Black Caliper Covers from AM about 2 weeks ago. I was a little skeptical about installing these myself because I don't have that good of a tech ability when it comes to cars, but I have to say this install wasn't that difficult. Hardest part was jacking up the car and taking the wheels off. Took me about 2 hours to complete, and all I have to say is these look ridiculously good on my car. I would highly recommend these for anyone who is looking for that subtle, but bold look for their car. I added some pics. Please excuse the cub rash gotta get them fixed soon.

 

Make sure you dont cook your brakes.

 

Do not like.

 

Am I the only person here, that HAS to straighten up the center cap of the wheels. I can't stand it!!!!!

 

A bit cheesy IMHO..

 

Yup

 

I think it definitely cleans up the look of the car... I get nothing but compliments on mine

 

How do I prevent that?

 

Looks great bro. Matches perfectly.

How do I prevent that?

I love the way they look, I didn't want it to look too ricey that's why I didn't get red.

 

To be honest I dont know. I just heard that some people put them on their cars and it cooked the brakes. So I was just giving you a warning.

 

Maybe it's something about the head not being able to dissipate as efficiently.

 

I like the black but the red is a little cheesy

 

I've had silver MGP Caliper Covers on my GT for about a year now. I went with silver because I just wanted a simple look and not too flashy... I was thinking about black too, so thanks for the pics...



They don't cook your brakes, by the way.

 

 

Ya, I have to agree with the masses. I do not like these, and they prevent your brakes from breathing properly.

 

Where? The heat sinks of the caliper are located towards the top away from the wheel.

 

HaHa.. No. I have them left off after I get new tires so I can install them straight.

 

I can't help to feel like they are pretending like you have Brembo or Baer calipers. Not for me, but as long as you like them. It's your ride....make it your own.

 

+1..

 

Ive been curious about these covers and looking at a few of these threads and people seem to keep saying that these will increase heat or "cook your brakes."

This article indicates that during testing they actually decreased brake temps by 20-50 degrees. When you think about it what you're really doing is slapping a large aluminum heat sync to the side of you caliper.
